Wu Li no longer doubted Banxia and the others: "Sorry, I acted impulsively. You all continue to rest." He waved to his men, "Let's go!"
Banxia and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. They were leaving already?
Nanxing patted Banxia's head: "Wife, go back to the tent and rest."
"Okay," Banxia wiped Yinzi's paws, "Everyone, go back and rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."
Aside from the unexpected incident in the middle of the night, Banxia and the others slept very well that night.
The reason is simple: when resting outside, no matter how tired they are, they are always on edge and dare not fall into a deep sleep; but at the base, unless the entire building is blown up, the heavily guarded interrogation room is the safest place.
After a quick wash, the group began discussing what to have for breakfast.
Su Yao muttered to himself, "Steamed buns, braised pork buns, vegetable buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, pan-fried dumplings..."
Fang Yunyun slapped him: "You do it?"
"I'll do it."
But in the end, the group chose to cook noodles because other dishes were time-consuming and laborious, and their stomachs couldn't wait.
Because I'd been so busy the past few days that I hadn't had a proper breakfast, I made an exceptionally lavish noodle dish. The mutated chicken broth was paired with handmade noodles, and the side dishes included mutated pork meatballs, shrimp, a fried egg, ham, and fresh vegetables.
Even before the apocalypse, such a pot of noodles would have been considered a feast, let alone in a post-apocalyptic world where resources were scarce. So, while the group was enjoying their meal, the soldiers watching outside were drooling with envy.
Perhaps because more and more people were going missing from the base, Li Kongyuan and the others were so busy that no one came to pay attention to them for three days in a row.
Banxia and her friends treated it like a long vacation, eating different dishes for every meal. In the morning, they had a deluxe version of noodles; at noon, they had stir-fried dishes, steamed dishes, and cold dishes; and in the evening, they had hot pot, barbecue, and skewers.
A soldier who loved to eat finally couldn't take it anymore and went to his captain: "Captain, I really can't stand it anymore, please transfer me to another post!"
The captain glared at him irritably: "No way, get lost!"
People in other positions have heard about their experiences and now avoid them. If they could be transferred, they would have done so long ago. How could they possibly be his subordinates?
"Sigh," the soldier's brows fell instantly, "How do they have so much food? For three whole days, not a single dish has been the same!"
The captain seemed to know the situation: "They're capable, aren't they? They're all superhumans, getting some food shouldn't be a problem for them."
The soldier couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "All of them?"
"Those animals all have superpowers."
As the two were talking, Wu Li walked over: "How are those people in the interrogation room doing? Are they behaving themselves?"
The captain and the soldier exchanged a glance: "If we told you that these people eat and drink well every day and their faces have become round from all the food, would you believe us?"
The captain said with difficulty, "I can't say for sure. Why don't you go and see for yourself?"
Wu Li looked at them questioningly: "Okay, let's go."
It was lunchtime, and after eating Chinese food for three days, Nanxing and his friends decided to try something different and have Western food.
So when Wu Li arrived, he saw Nan Xing and the others eating steak and drinking red wine, their movements as elegant as if they were attending a party at a high-end restaurant, showing no signs of being prisoners.
Wu Li was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder: "Is this how you treat suspects?"
The team leader couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "The ingredients, drinks, and even the tables, chairs, candles, and flowers were all brought by them."
He hasn't eaten meat for many days, so where would he get the ability to do that?
Wu Li took a deep breath: "Open the door!"
The captain opened the door with trepidation, and a strong fragrance immediately wafted out.
"Coo coo coo!"
The captain awkwardly clutched his stomach. Wait, that doesn't seem to be him? Then who is it?
"Coo coo coo!"
He looked toward the source of the sound, and saw Wu Li's face turning red and then black, like a chameleon.
Oh, the case is solved!
"Get down!"
Wu Li took a deep breath. He has absolutely no sense of propriety. No wonder he's still a squad leader at his age!
"yes!"
The squad leader secretly grimaced. "No ability, but quite a temper!"
Banxia and her friends had just enjoyed a good show for free and were feeling disappointed that it ended too quickly when they saw Su Yao fork up a piece of steak and put it in his mouth, praising it with a look of delight: "Crispy, tender, fragrant, and juicy."
Banxia and the others simply stopped what they were doing to watch his performance. Su Yao lived up to expectations, picking up a glass of red wine and swirling it under his nose. "Deep color, pleasant aroma..."
He spoke like a professional wine connoisseur, commenting on the wine's color, aroma, and taste. After finishing, he pretended to be embarrassed and looked at Wu Li standing outside the door: "Oh my, what a rare guest! Assistant Wu, when did you arrive?"
Wu Li said with a forced smile, "I've been here for a long time."
"Oh," Su Yao gulped down the wine in his glass, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early..."
Wu Li's eyes lit up. Although accepting bribes was not allowed in principle, it was just a meal, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?
He looked at Su Yao with a hint of anticipation, and Su Yao turned to Da Ju and said, "Quick, put everything into your space, we're about to leave."
Wu Li was instantly enraged: "You're playing me?!"
Su Yao looked puzzled: "How did I trick you? Assistant Wu, you didn't come here to let us leave, did you?"
Wu Li was so angry he almost jumped up and down: "Who said I came here to let you go?"
"What?" Su Yao was even angrier than him. "You said you invited us to conduct an investigation, but you've detained us for three days for nothing. What, is your competence really that bad? You haven't found any evidence to prove our innocence after several days?"
Banxia and the others stood up and looked at him coldly: "If you don't give us an explanation today, don't blame us for taking action!"
Banxia even pulled out a rocket launcher from her spatial storage, practically blatantly displaying her threat.
Wu Li was startled, but then realized she was at the base and didn't dare to make a move. She challenged him, "If you're so capable, then fire at me!"
"oh."
Then Wu Li was blown into a bloody flower.
Banxia, however, was extremely disgusted: "You talk so big, but you're so weak."
Su Yao silently touched his arm, which was covered in goosebumps, and muttered to himself, "I'll never be so cheeky again."
He's not afraid of verbal battles, but he's afraid of encountering a ruthless person like Banxia who'll resort to violence at the slightest provocation. In that case, even nine lives wouldn't be enough.
"Enemy attack!" The captain rushed over with his gun at the ready, but stopped and cautiously asked when he saw the rocket launcher in Banxia's hand, "Um... what just happened?"
Nanxing downplayed the issue, saying, "Assistant Wu asked my wife to fire at him, and my wife granted his wish."
The captain's lips twitched violently. "Guess if I believe you?"
Nanxing pointed to the surveillance camera in the corner: "Isn't there surveillance here? Take the memory card to your computer and you'll see if what I'm saying is true."
